350 valve adjustment

Postby gmlaverda » Wed Jan 31, 2018 10:43 pm

I did a fair amount of searching on this website and others as well as my books and cannot get a definitive answer on what to set the valve clearances at for my 350 project bike. This Ducati is a wide case, engine #06095. It was registered as a 1969 but the chassis tag shows 196_ so not sure exactly when it was built. It is not a Desmo and has the green/white markings on the cam. From my reading here it looks as though there may or may not have been 2 different green/white cams. Currently the intake valve is reading 0.004" and the exhaust is reading 0.006". It has not run in years. Trying to learn more about this fascinating engine. Thanks

1969 is right for your engine number.

According to the owner's handbook from May 1968, valve clearances are 0.10mm (0.004" if you insist ;).

the 0.006 clearance for the exhaust is correct to .

Thank you gentlemen. Not sure why I could not find these same numbers but I do appreciate the help.
